research Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human androgen receptor ligand-binding domain with a coactivator-like peptide and selective androgen receptor modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Hairless Modulates Ligand-Dependent Activation of the Vitamin D Receptor-Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer
Hairless protein can both repress and activate vitamin D receptor functions, affecting gene regulation.
research Altered expression of intracellular Toll-like receptors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with alopecia areata
Increased Toll-like receptors in blood cells may contribute to alopecia areata and could be a target for new treatments.
research Ectodysplasin-A2 induces dickkopf 1 expression in human balding dermal papilla cells overexpressing the ectodysplasin A2 receptor
